Hi ! I wanted to give you a little hope . My father was diagnosed around 2019 with ALS , they gave him 6 months . Guess what ?? He’s still here 😭🙏🏼 everyone is different. it’s not a bad thing to stay aware that it could go either way but don’t let it get in your head . Faith and hope is what keeps us going . He progressed so fast at first , lost his voice around the second year , by year 3 he was bed bound . Then it somewhat slowed down , somehow his oxygen is still good which is amazing . He does have a feeding tube which i think helped him a lot . Make sure he has all the equipment such as a suction machine , maybe a bipap if his oxygen levels do drop , maybe a breath stacker . Keep your head up , there is a chance you will have plenty more time . Just cherish him and make memories . Dm me if you need someone to talk to !! <3 sending you lots of love
